The internet loves this couple with Down syndrome who just celebrated their 22nd anniversary.

Maryanne, 45, and Tommy, 59, Pilling are a couple who were both born with Down syndrome. At the time they wed, their marriage was controversial, according to the Independent. They are among the first, if not the first, couple with Down syndrome to get married in the UK. But now, 22 years later, they're still going strong.

Ms. Pilling's sister, Lindi Newman, told the Independent that their mother had "received a lot of flak at the time for letting them get married, but she insisted it was their decision." The couple had met about one and half years prior to the proposal.
